Majoring in quantitative economics with a minor in government and set to graduate in May, she described a grueling and often discouraging process.“Every weekend, I dedicate over two hours to job applications. As of today, I’ve applied to over 90 jobs. I’ve been ghosted by nearly 25% of them and rejected automatically from around 55%,” she said.Despite securing some interviews, Frost said the lack of communication from employers had been particularly frustrating.She said: “I’ve gotten around 10 interviews but many of them don’t even bother to tell you you’re not a good fit …...

The financial pressure is not limited to low-income households. Newer West Health-Gallup research found that about one in three US adults, representing more than 82 million people, made at least one financial trade-off in the previous year to pay for health care. Common responses included borrowing money and stretching or rationing prescription medications.For some Indian American and other immigrant families, the problem can be particularly complicated. Coverage may depend on a small business, self-employment, a job tied to an employer, or private insurance for parents visiting the United States. These situations can leave families with fewer straightforward options when income changes or a major medical emergency strikes.Health care costs are now affecting everyday lifeThe West Health-Gallup findings show that health care costs are no longer simply an issue people confront at the doctor's office.About one-third of adults surveyed said they had made at least one sacrifice in their daily lives to pay for health care. Among uninsured adults, the figure...

Who runs the world? Women currently hold more jobs than men in the US for the third time in history — and experts say the disparity could be here to stay as seismic employment shifts take hold in America. The fairer sex held 79.64 million jobs as of June 2026, compared to the 79.34 million jobs held by men at the time — a difference of about 304,000, according to a fascinating survey conducted by the Indeed Hiring Lab. That disparity has been growing sharply in recent months — in Feb. 2026, women held 96,000 more jobs than men, meaning the disparity grew by a whopping 208,000 jobs across four months this year alone. Women held more US jobs than men as of this year for the third time in history, and experts think that’s here to stay. Getty Images/Westend61 And in the last 12 months, about 95% added positions went to women, as did two-thirds — 814,000 — of the 1.2...

The US economy is creating fewer jobs than expected with the employment market performing weaker during the summer than previously thought, official figures show.There was a surprise shedding of 23,000 jobs last month, with declines driven by cuts in local government education and retail roles, despite analysts predicting growth.The Bureau of Labor Statistics also revised down the number of jobs added in May and June by 103,000, signalling a slow summer of job creation.Analysts said the latest figures could reduce pressure on the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, to raise interest rates next month, despite high inflation.Nancy Vanden Houten, lead economist at Oxford Economics, said expectations of interest rates being raised had been "scaled back", since the decision last month.US stock markets opened higher on Friday following the release of the latest jobs figures on the prospect that the weaker data might prevent any rate hikes.Analysts had expected an uptick in the number of jobs being added to the...

Teenagers work at an ice cream shop in Warwick, Rhode Island, on May 28, 2025. (Photo by Barry Chin/The Boston Globe via Getty Images) A summer job – whether scooping ice cream, busing tables or teaching campers to make lanyards – once was a rite of passage for American teens. But far fewer teens are working such jobs now than two or three decades ago. Only 35.5% of U.S. teens ages 16 to 19 have held a paying job for at least part of summer 2026, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of federal employment data. That employment rate, which averages figures for June and July, is up a bit from last summer’s 33.8%. (Averages from 2025 and earlier include figures for August.) As recently as 2000, more than half of 16- to 19-year-olds worked for at least part of the summer. That had been the case most summers since 1948, which is as far back as the federal jobs data goes....
